The dedication was noteworthy one, not
only from the great prominence of the sub
ect but by reason OF the distinguished men
who participated in the ceremonies. These
include tie general of the army, Z. ii. Sheri
dan the three commanders of the Army of
the Cumberland now living, viz: Generals
Sherman and Buell.. Bev. F. ID. Powers, pas
tor of tie church where President Garfield
worshipc,l. pronounced the benrdicion.
Civil Service Commissioner ODeriy says
that for his part he had wished to incorpor-
ate in the new rules over which there has
| been so much talk recently a clause reqrlir-
! ing the commission to examine clerks in the
| classified list with regard to their fitness for
retention as well as for promotion. This
| clause however, was stricken out because
! Commissioner Edcerton was absent and be-
! cause the Republican commissioner voted
nav. 1t really contained more genuine re-
form than all of the rest of the new rules put
together, for it struck at the very root Of the
evil which now confessed'y exists in The de
paltments, and its operation would have
cleared out great number of uSel less and in.
competent officials otherwise inaccessible. Ii
is still possible that Commissioner Oberly S
wish may be adopted, in which case he cause
of true reform will receive powerful llnpe
tuS.

The National Drill and Encampment

The National Drill and Encampment,
which opens in Washington May 23d,
continuing until the Both, will be one OF
the most interesting events that ever oc-
CURED in the history of Americas mill
tia. Its inception was the out-growth
of that general desire to make the vol
unteer military of the several States
more effective. and as step in that di-
rection this competitive contest was ar
ranged, and valuable prizes of cash,
medals and trophies. offered as rewards
for excellence in drill. Washington was
very appropriately selected as the place,
the citizens responded literally, the war
Department lent its aid. and the success
of the enterprise Is assured beyond any
possibility of doubt. Over thirty of the
States and Territories will be represent
ed by military organizations, and the
daily contests, embracing all the branches
of military service from the manual OF
arms to brigade drill, will be intensely
interesting TO every one. The cash prizes
amount to S2G 500. The camp will be
pitched on the grounds surrounding the
Washington Monument, and the drill
ground will be marked out on the cam
ms between the Monument and the
White House.
The universal interest which will be
felt in the drill in all parts of the coun-
try, and the excellent opportunity it will
afford for visiting the National Capital
at the most beautiful season OF the year,
will draw thousands to Washington
The city, noted as the most beautiful
capital of the world. never appears to so
good an advantage as in the first blush
of spring, nor is there an pleasanter
time to visit the parks, gardens and pub
lie buildings than this. All the public
property is open to the inspection of
visitors.
In order TO accommodate visitors the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company will
sell excursion tickets, May 2lst to 9th,
good to return until Both, from all sta
| tons on lis lines, at reduced rates. In
addition special trains at special rates
will be run on certain days from various
sections of the Pennsylvania system,
